This three-way discuss took place over Christmas vacation in their Grove Street home front room. Unfortunately, the conversation went in way too many directions to take accurate notes. This is a simple paraphrase and only scratches the surface. To bring you up to speed, the following may help:

A blue bird in Bluffton...in a manner of speaking. The Icon spotted this license plate from Missouri over Christmas on Main Street. Check out the bird on the bottom of the plate.

The photo of Charlie Hankish triggers a host of fond memories: his story as a boy accompanying his father or uncle on a wagon trek conducting tourists from Beirut to Jerusalem and Holy Land sites. . . .

The Bluffton Athletic Boosters recently purchased a software tool called ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing). ImPACT is a computerized exam utilized in many professional, collegiate, and high school sports programs across the country to successfully diagnose and manage concussions.

If an athlete is believed to have suffered a head injury during competitions, ImPACT is used to help determine the severity of head injury and when the injury has fully healed.

The Bluffton Lions Club will meet at 11:50 a.m., Tuesday, Jan. 18, at Maple Crest. Sam Diller is the guest speaker. He will talk about being a small town lawyer.
